Search engine marketing (SEM) – these days, everyone is talking about it. But for the average business owner, the concept is still something of a mystery. Yes, you know you want your prospects to find you on the Internet; and, you know that search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing are the way to make that happen. But what is the process that makes your website visible when consumers search for your products or services?
It’s called search engine optimization (SEO), and it’s what search engine marketing is all about. As you know, search engines are used to find relevant information online; and search engine result pages (SERPs) in Google, Yahoo and Bing are where Internet users locate goods and services like yours.
The SEO/SEM process simply makes it easier for your website to be found among your many competitors. It utilizes the keywords, keyword phrases, and location that your prospects are likely to use when searching for a business like yours. Simple enough, right? But basic SEO methods are just the beginning.
True search engine marketing takes those principles to the next level. And frankly, you shouldn’t have to do too much research on search engine marketing in order for your business to thrive. As a busy entrepreneur, you have more pressing tasks to attend to. Chances are, you have better things to do than worry about:
- Keyword research
- Copywriting
- Anchor text
- Link building
- Meta tags
- Programming
- Directory submissions
- Sitemaps
...Not to mention the most effective ways to implement these SEO techniques. So, how can you benefit from search engine marketing without worrying about it yourself? By placing it in the hands of capable experts – Internet marketing professionals whose job it is to help small business websites rank high in search engines.
